Spring Day Camps Details
This spring we'll be offering a series of day camps throughout the month of May to help graduate students jumpstart their summer writing projects. We're calling it Momentum Mondays in May! They will be held on May 5, 12, and 19.
The idea is to help you build momentum on your writing for the week by starting off with the support and camaraderie of the day camp experience. There will only be one application but you can indicate on that if you can come to one or more of the days.
